46 Fallen Dragon(15)
Although they had just experienced a storm not long ago, when the second one appeared, the two were still embarrassed, and after the wind calmed down, Lan Li even found that he had caught a cold.
This made him depressed, and Rhaenys was worried.
Although the disease of cold and wind chill is not big, it can also kill people in this era, especially if they do not have the slightest medical conditions at present.
Lan Li didn't pay much attention to this, and didn't even wait for the clothes on his body to dry out before walking towards the beach, wanting to see if there was any gain this time.
Then he dragged back a pair of broken sails attached to the mast.
At this time, Rhaenys was staring at the messy camp with some trouble, not knowing where to start for a while, and when she heard the noise, she turned around and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"Redwing?"
She looked at Lan Li with her mouth open, and the other party nodded: "A dark purple grape on a blue background, the coat of arms of the Redwin family." ”
It doesn't sound like much, but it's actually very important to them.
The Redwings are loyal to the Tyrells of Westeros, but they are much older than the Tyrells who became vassals of the Bend after the Conquistador's Wars, and are known for their wine and fleet as one of the largest naval forces in Westeros.
Lan Li couldn't be more familiar with this family, because during the siege of Storm's End, it was the family that blocked the sea, and the Tyrells and other riverbend lords were in charge of the land.
He also knew the location of the Redwyn family's territory, Qingting Island, in the summer sea in the southern part of Westeros, and basically on the same line as the south coast of Dorne, where the two had once been.
"They must have had a ship wrecked around here last night." Seeing the other party's stunned expression, Lan Li said: "Next, we have to keep an eye on the point, maybe there will be people who are in distress washed by the current, or find this island swimming over, just like we did at the beginning." ”
"You mean, there's a good chance we'll be saved because of this?" Rhaenys couldn't help but ask.
It is naturally impossible for a simple victim to save them, but if someone comes to this sea area to search and rescue them later, then it is not necessarily, and Lan Li also means this, so he nodded.
"That's right."
The corners of Rhaenys' mouth twitched when she heard this, trying to stay calm, but she couldn't help but smile, and finally stopped suppressing her emotions, and hugged the person in front of her and cried with joy.
Lan Li patted her back with a smile, he could feel the joy of the other party from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, his own heart was like a big stone falling to the ground at this moment - although it was quite a spectrum, but this kind of thing still had to depend on God in the end.
It turns out that God seems to treat him "not thin".
However, what he was "expecting" was not the so-called Redwin, but Dorne's ships, and he thought that it was impossible to hide Dorne's lordship for too long from the recent departure from Dorne, and if those people knew about it, they would definitely go to sea to find and hunt them down.
Now, although it is not clear why Redwin came to the nearby waters, the situation is much simpler.
……
Neither of them spoke again, and they were all immersed in the good news.
It was the morning, the fresh air was blowing with a warm and pleasant sea breeze, the sun was high in the sky overhead, the surrounding trees were rattling, and the sound of the tide crashing against the reef was still there.
It didn't take long for Rhaenys's excitement to cool down suddenly, and she broke away from her embrace, her purple eyes looked at Lan Li's face, and her expression became a little complicated.
"What's wrong?" Glancing at her, Lan Li was still smiling.
The other party opened his mouth, and then smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, but I think it's better to fix the house first, otherwise I'll be bitten by mosquitoes again at night." ”
"Then you find the ingredients first, and I'll go to the beach and keep an eye on it."
Lan Li turned to leave, and the broken sail he was dragging in his hand was still in place.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything other than this sail that day. And when he returned to the camp, the atmosphere that had become much more silent also made him a little stunned.
That night, the small shed was not covered, and neither of them had a good night's sleep.
However, when she woke up the next day, the atmosphere here seemed to have returned to its original appearance, and the cheerful little queen was lively again.
"When I get back to King's Landing, I can show you a hill that bears my name, and I'm going to build a large garden there." Squatting at the camp and drinking breakfast lemon leaf tea, Rhaenys turned her head sideways to Lan Li, who was also squatting next to her, and said with a smile: "I've been planning for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable gardener, maybe I should go to the high court to have a look, they say that many people there know this." ”
"I'm not going to King's Landing with you." Lan Li, who was brushing her teeth with a small twig dipped in the ashes of the fire, replied vaguely: "That city stinks. ”
"It's smelly now, but it'll get better later." Rhaenys said, "Just like my kingdom, it will get better and better." ”
Hearing this, Lan Li couldn't help but look sideways at her.
"What? Don't you believe it? The other party raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Of course." Lan Li nodded.
The establishment of the Targaryen dynasty marked a new era in Westeros, where the former Seven Kingdoms seemed to be at war at every turn, but after the unification, despite all the civil strife and political intrigue, it was much stronger than the original chaos.
It's just that this dynasty doesn't live long, compared to the various feudal families with a history of more than 1,000 years and the ancient seven kingdoms, the Targaryen Dynasty was overthrown within 300 years of its establishment, and it was Lan Li's cheap big brother who took the lead.
Dramatically, he, a member of the Usurper family, had come here to chat with the founder of the Targaryen dynasty.
I don't know what kind of expression she will have when she understands this.
Lan Li thought to himself secretly, and suddenly thought that the kings of the Targaryen Dynasty were all descendants of the bloodline of the little queen beside him, and if it was really according to the bloodline, this seemed to be his...... Ancestor?
……
In the following period, he picked up many tattered planks and broken timber on the beach of the island, as well as some items that were clearly civilized, silver plates, tattered wine barrels, and so on.
On the third day after the storm, he saw a soaking white male corpse, and the corpse that kept drifting back and forth with the tide was silent when he saw Lan Li, but this emotion did not carry into the camp.
The next day he saw a few more dead bodies, as well as more supplies, which was of little use but strengthened their confidence, and although they didn't get anything more out of the next few days, the two of them still looked forward to it.
The days seem to be back to the way they used to be, but with a subtle change in the atmosphere.
For example, Rhaenys no longer has casual physical contact with Lan Li, and her dress and daily life are not as casual as before, and some of her manners have become serious, and at the same time, she will deliberately distance herself from her every night when she pulls the cover roll.
Obviously, this is to avoid suspicion, and Lan Li has expected this.
He has always understood and thought that some of the other party's emotions some time ago were just "broken jars and broken falls" ideas formed after feeling hopeless to leave.
Or maybe she instinctively wants to find an emotional sustenance to rely on each other in order to spend the rest of her life.
This is not a desire for love, but a choice of helplessness, and for Lan Li, it is a responsibility.
As a passerby, he didn't want to and couldn't bear this kind of responsibility, and Lan Li didn't think that the two of them would really be trapped here forever, at least not himself.
So he's been responding negatively to that.
Of course, he can pretend not to know these things and then go free, but there are some things that can be deceived by his mouth, and some things that are difficult to make up his mind to do.
At this time, there is a ray of light in the predicament, and the other party no longer thinks about it like that, but wants to maintain a simple friendship. Lan Li thought that this was good, at least he didn't have to always wonder if he was a fool or not.
However, one day, the other party talked to him intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's really small here, and you can't see a lot of things."
"What do you want?" The cold went and came again, and Lan Li, who was squatting on the ground and blowing her nose with leaves, raised her eyes to look at her.
"Nothing." The little queen blinked, and then suddenly asked, "Do you know what the tansy is for?" And safflower? ”
Lan Li was stunned when he heard this, but the other party turned around and walked away with a smile.
……
The change occurred five days after this conversation, and another violent storm suddenly came, about the same intensity as the previous ones, but when Lan Li searched the beach the next day, he found a person-
A living person.
